Intelligent control, Pprosthetic limbs, Clinical applicationAbstract
With the continuous development in intelligent control technology, its application in the design of medical devices is becoming increasingly more widespread. In recent years, intelligent control technology has been widely used in prosthetic hand design and optimization. This review attempts to summarize the current research on prosthetic limbs with intelligent control. This review will introduce the design principle behind prosthetic limbs with intelligent control. It will then introduce different control methods, including one method using biological signals and one method based on machine learning algorithms. In the end, the review will discuss how optimization strategies and clinical application of prosthetic limbs with intelligent control are integrated. Through the analysis of related literature, this review intends to provide theoretical basis and technical guidance for the development of more feasible and user-friendly prosthetic limbs with intelligent control in the future. It also discusses the current challenges and future research directions in this field.
